| Kai's verdict | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
